I think that Bronze Age armour, Neo-Assyrian armour, the Mars of Todi armour, and the Divine Triad armour were all constructed in a very similar manner - all of which involve attaching the plates to a foundation of some sort. The Wisby plates, on the other hand were lamellar since the assembly of those plates don't require a foundation.
It isn't a closed book to me. All someone has to do is produce some plates from this period and show me how they can be laced together into an assembly that looks like the sculptures without fixing them to a backing. I'd love to see an earlier example of lamellar since I've been looking in vain for years.
